Pros

I manage oncology trials and the studies are AMAZING and very meaningful to be a part of different novel therapies. My colleagues are knowledgeable, I'm valued, and able to bounce ideas of off them.

Cons

I'm constantly allocated across multiple different studies and although the work is exciting it is intense. Resourcing - I get anxious when I don't have all the tools/key personnel to help me manage a trial. I felt at times I over-exerted myself to ensure that the sites I work with did not see our internal resource shortcomings.

Syneos is synonymous for a lack diversity and growth.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Cash per diem.

Cons

Overworked. No care about burnout. No room for bonuses if not exceeding days onsite 12/mo. No help from management on onboarding or help on how to use various outdated softwares. IT and HR tickets take days to complete, sometimes without resolution because their metrics are hurt by open tickets. Upper management pushes diversity lines but do not see any room to grow if you're colored. More Caucasian men in management and executive than women or colored people. Just seems like a bad environment for those of color, as you get comments on slow work, less quality. Even though metrics show otherwise. Just another CRO like all the others. No room to grow if you have melanin.

Pros

I had a few really lovely coworkers.

Cons

It really started to go downhill around the time of the INC/inVentiv merger. My department lost a lot of employees and our leadership had the brilliant idea to consolidate responsibilities across job titles, without actually changing our job titles or salaries, or hiring new employees. I broached the topic of a promotion with my manager multiple times over multiple years since I was fulfilling the responsibilities of a role above my level and receiving positive performance feedback. But it was never the right time and there was never a business need (despite so many people leaving...), so eventually I found another job and quit. Suddenly it WAS the right time for a promotion and a raise! Except the "raise" offered by this company with over $1 billion reported annual revenue was significantly less than I was offered to work at a non-profit. Oops!
